Blacksmith Master is an economic strategy game from the Serbian Untitled Studio, similar to its Tavern Master. This time, the creators let us manage a medieval forge and climb the ladder of a blacksmith's career. The game was published by Hooded Horse.

Plot

The game transports us to the Middle Ages and allows us to manager the forge. We provide jobs for miners and respond to the needs of customers with the produced assortment. They show up wanting various items - from swords to tools and kitchen utensils. Blacksmith Master does not have a complex storyline and instead focuses on running a business.

Gameplay

In Blacksmith Master we supervise the entire process of operating the forge, from building the workshop through deg items, refining and smelting ores to production and trade. For this purpose, we employ workers and equip them with appropriate tools. Given that all our products cannot be made without raw materials extracted from the earth, we are obliged to pay miners, making sure they have everything they need for efficient work.

The creation and sale of a forester's axe, frying pan or jewelry requires not only the coordinated work of many people, but also skills that increase with the production of objects of a certain category, unlocking more complex ones. They require a longer manufacturing process. We must also heat the bar, forge it on an anvil, harden it, assemble the parts and finally sharpen it.

Most of the craftswork is associated with a timed dexterity mini-game.
